In how far does that affect the filename?  We're adding new APIs
to Cygwin all the time, but the DLL is still called cygwin1.dll.
And that's how it works for any other DLL as well as long as it
doesn't break backward compatibility, API-wise.

This is a loadable module, not a link library, and unlike other languageinterpreters which load extensions directly based on file name, Tclpackage-type extensions are loaded based on a metadata file(pkgIndex.tcl). It is actually typical of Tcl extensions to beversioned in this way.
